" Business was unusually slow on an off-peak evening, leading to great service. We ordered a mixed platter of skewers and they were great! The chicken with garlic sauce was good, and the bacon-wrapped asparagus was an unexpected favorite. The decor gives off a homey and traditional vibe, perfect for a casual dinner. Portion sizes are small, so be prepared to order several items if you come hungry! Would love to go again to try out their ramen offerings next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had an amazing time at Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori! I loved that they serve everything grilled with authentic Japanese flair. We had the shrimp and must say it was freaking fantastic. Our server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The atmosphere lively, albeit a bit crowded, but it contributed to the restaurant's charm. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, but I’d recommend preparing for a slightly hefty bill at the end. A delicious dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" So grateful for the recommendation to try Shin-Sen-Gumi! The yakitori was absolutely superb! You could tell they pay attention to the details. The charcoal flavor permeates the skewers, making for a delicious meal. They have a wonderful array of options, too, making it hard to choose! The ambiance is very lively and energetic, but it can get a bit loud. Expect to pay a little more for your meal, especially if you decide to get multiple skewers. Overall, I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" A little slice of Japan! I had an unforgettable dinner at Shin-Sen-Gumi. The yakitori was top-notch, really showcasing the art of grilling. I particularly loved the garlic chicken and vegetable skewers. The ambiance is bustling and creative, which only adds to the excitement of the dining experience. Although a bit on the pricier side, it’s a feast that you won’t want to miss. I’ll undoubtedly be back to try more of their fantastic menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing yakitori experience! I’m an avid fan of this style of food and Shin-Sen-Gumi exceeded my expectations. The skewers were incredibly flavorful and fresh, especially the shishito peppers and the chicken thighs. I loved the bustling atmosphere, which reminded me of small restaurants I’ve been to abroad. The staff was friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. The only downside was the higher price tag, but the quality was definitely reflected. Absolutely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, where do I even start with Shin-Sen-Gumi! My friends and I decided on a spur of the moment trip and we couldn’t have been happier. The ambiance is vibrant and lively, painting a beautiful picture reminiscent of izakayas in Japan. The skewers were grilled perfectly. Special shout-out to their chicken skin – crispy and addictively delicious! Service was fast, which is impressive considering how busy they were. My only downside was that I expected larger portions; for our group of four, we should’ve doubled our order. Will not hesitate to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into Shin-Sen-Gumi, I noticed how cozy it is! The lights are low, and the atmosphere buzzes with friendly laughter and sizzling skewers. I don’t often eat yakitori, but I tried the chicken thighs and beef skirt and fell in love! The grill marks were beautiful and had such a deep flavor from the charcoal. The staff were incredibly efficient, no long waits here! Just be aware: keep an eye on your bill because those skewers add up quickly! This gem has definitely earned a spot on my favorites list.
